Yes! Chase Approval

[BRH3]

Well, I had been getting pre-approval letters in the mail from Chase for their platinum card for 0% interest and BT's for 15 months then 6.99% after that. I finally decided to call them Thursday but my latest pre-approval expired Sept. 12th. They said they would honor it and I applied. Later that night I found out that WAMU was being bought out by Chase. I have a 8.5K CL WAMU Platinum so I was worried about my new Chase app. I called them this morning and was aprroved for 5K. Wow! My highest score is EQ 693 (not sure who they pulled) but it was a pleasant suprise to get that CL. Will I be able to combine later?

This board is awesome. I little over a year ago my highest score was 583 and I couldn't get approved for any prime cards. Now all scores are mid 600's to high 600's with some good cards. Thanks to everyone here.

Combining? Who knows? That 6.99% is a super go to rate. Well done.

According to the websites everything is remaining separate for now.  When the conversion is complete WaMu will no longer exist and everything will be Chase, so I would guess that you would be able to combine, but that's quite a ways away. 

BTW, I am on the last 4 months of my 15 month 0%BT and purchase.  I am going to miss it, it was a great thing!

Thanks everyone. I just got a scorewatch alert that I am -13 points today. It must have been the new app and card with Chase. Oh well, it will be worth it in the long run.

The -13 may be the INQ alone. Take a look at your scorewatch to see if the account has even shown up yet. When the account shows up a line like that should reduce your UTL if you have any so it may be a wash on the ding to age.

Regardless congrats great limit and rate. Chase is on my least favored list due to high APR and lowest limit. They represent 0.4% of my available credit.

You are right. It was for the INQ only. Maybe the new CL will lower my utl and the score will come back up.

After the merger, you will be able to combine available credit. Hope this helps
